     * <p>

     * is not satisfied. See the example below.

     * For more information on this topic, see section 14.2,
     * "Condition Queues," in Brian Goetz and others' <em>Java Concurrency
     * in Practice</em> (Addison-Wesley, 2006) or Item 69 in Joshua
     * Bloch's <em>Effective Java, Second Edition</em> (Addison-Wesley,
     * 2008).

     * by any thread before or while it is waiting, then an {@code InterruptedException}
     * is thrown.  The <em>interrupted status</em> of the current thread is cleared when

     * The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will
     * invoke the {@code finalize} method for any given object. It is
     * guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not
     * be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is
     * invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method,
     * the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.
     * <p>
     * After the {@code finalize} method has been invoked for an object, no
     * further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again
     * determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can
     * be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible
     * actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized,
     * at which point the object may be discarded.
     * <p>
     * The {@code finalize} method is never invoked more than once by a Java
     * virtual machine for any given object.
     * <p>
     * Any exception thrown by the {@code finalize} method causes
     * the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise
     * ignored.
     *
     * @apiNote
     * Classes that embed non-heap resources have many options
     * for cleanup of those resources. The class must ensure that the
     * lifetime of each instance is longer than that of any resource it embeds.
     * {@link java.lang.ref.Reference#reachabilityFence} can be used to ensure that
     * objects remain reachable while resources embedded in the object are in use.
     * <p>
     * A subclass should avoid overriding the {@code finalize} method
     * unless the subclass embeds non-heap resources that must be cleaned up
     * before the instance is collected.
     * Finalizer invocations are not automatically chained, unlike constructors.
     * If a subclass overrides {@code finalize} it must invoke the superclass
     * finalizer explicitly.
     * To guard against exceptions prematurely terminating the finalize chain,
     * the subclass should use a {@code try-finally} block to ensure
     * {@code super.finalize()} is always invoked. For example,
     * <pre>{@code      @Override
     *     protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
     *         try {
     *             ... // cleanup subclass state
     *         } finally {
     *             super.finalize();
     *         }
     *     }
     * }</pre>
     *
     * @deprecated The finalization mechanism is inherently problematic.
     * Finalization can lead to performance issues, deadlocks, and hangs.
     * Errors in finalizers can lead to resource leaks; there is no way to cancel
     * finalization if it is no longer necessary; and no ordering is specified
     * among calls to {@code finalize} methods of different objects.
     * Furthermore, there are no guarantees regarding the timing of finalization.
     * The {@code finalize} method might be called on a finalizable object
     * only after an indefinite delay, if at all.
     *
     * Classes whose instances hold non-heap resources should provide a method
     * to enable explicit release of those resources, and they should also
     * implement {@link AutoCloseable} if appropriate.
     * The {@link java.lang.ref.Cleaner} and {@link java.lang.ref.PhantomReference}
     * provide more flexible and efficient ways to release resources when an object
     * becomes unreachable.
     *
     * @throws Throwable the {@code Exception} raised by this method
     * @see java.lang.ref.WeakReference
     * @see java.lang.ref.PhantomReference
